\"\"It is with great pride and affection that we farewell the Class of 2025 and welcome them into the MLC School Old Girls community. This milestone marks the end of their school journey and the beginning of a lifelong connection to the School and its rich legacy.<\/p>\n

As tradition holds, the Year 12 students’ last week was filled with meaningful events that honoured their time at MLC School. From the Celebration Assembly and the Old Girls\u2019 Union Chocolate Recess, to a visit to the Junior School by our Year 12 \u2018Lifers\u2019, each moment reflected the spirit and warmth of our community. The middle of their final week brought their final day of classes, House lunches and a heartfelt Final Assembly where the Kindergarten students sang Auf Wiedersehn Goodbye<\/em> from the Sound of Music<\/em> \u2013 a true MLC School tradition. To finish, we gathered for the Paver Ceremony, Valedictory Assembly and Service, and concluded with a joyful Valedictory Dinner at Le Montage, an evening of celebration, reflection and dancing.<\/p>\n

Throughout the week, the School community came together to express their best wishes to the graduating class. It was a fitting end to Term 3, which also featured the Year 11 Drama production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead<\/em>, the Annual Dance Showcase Once Upon a Time<\/em> at NIDA, and learning celebrations across the Junior School.<\/p>\n

At the final Year 12 Assembly, School Captain Marirose<\/strong> spoke beautifully about the changing perception of time and how the days that once felt long now seem to have flown by. Her words captured the bittersweet nature of farewell and the excitement of what lies ahead.<\/p>\n

Many families chose to commemorate their daughter\u2019s journey with a personalised paver, now placed at the School\u2019s main entrance. These pavers serve as lasting tributes to each girl\u2019s place in MLC School\u2019s story, and I encourage you to visit them when next on campus, they are a powerful reminder of the generations who have walked these paths before.<\/p>\n

Marirose, along with Vice Captains Lefki<\/strong> and Evie,<\/strong> and the entire 2025 Student Leadership Team, led with vision, joy and integrity. Their goal of strengthening School and House Spirit was met with resounding success, and I thank them for their contribution to every corner of school life.<\/p>\n

As we welcome the Class of 2025 into the Old Girls community, we also extend our congratulations to the newly appointed 2026 Student Leadership Team. Selected through a thoughtful process involving student voice and interviews, they have already shown the character and commitment that will guide them in the year ahead.<\/p>\n

To our newest Old Girls: we wish you every success as you step into the next chapter of your lives. May the friendships, values and experiences you carry from MLC School continue to guide and inspire you. You are now part of a remarkable network of women who continue to shape the world with courage, compassion and conviction.<\/p>\n
